About the Hobie Wave

The Hobie Wave is Fun for Everyone




Join The Fun!  Sail a Wave!
The Hobie Wave was designed to be the perfect boat for beach resorts to offer to a wide variety of people who want to enjoy sailing.  It is exceptionally durable, really fun,  and easy to sail.  Because it has no boom, it is extremely safe.   It is very bouyant and forgiving, and if it does capsize, the bob on the mast prevents it from turtling (going upside down).   
 
Simply put, the Wave is an easy- to-sail, easy-to-rig speedster that just makes people smile. It is fun for the family, exciting for juniors, and forgiving enough for the newly initiated.  The Hobie Wave is the ideal must-go-sailing-now catamaran.

The symmetrically shaped hulls and keel design provide lift while eliminating the need for daggerboards, and its rotomolded polyethylene construction is nearly indestructible. Equipped with thoughtful features including a comptip mast and Hobie Bob mast float to prevent turtling if capsized.  Becuase it has no dagger boards, it can be sailed right on to the beach.

A large, fully-battened, boomless mainsail is powerful in the light stuff, but is designed to reduce power in an unexpected gust. The three-piece mesh trampoline is heat melded for the ultimate in longevity, has two main sections and is simple to adjust.

Although never intended to be a racer, the number of Wave enthusiasts has grown rapidly over the years and is approacing the popularity of the venerable Hobie 16.  Within this group are many former double handed sailors who convinced the Hobie Class Association that the Wave should be a racing class.

The 2023 Hobie Wave North Americans are a result of the dedication of these sailors.
